When Gabriel Webb volunteered for a sleep lab experiment, he didn't expect to find himself pursued by the Grim Reaper on a racing bike. And when, on a cold October morning, Rob Mangan offered a cup of hot coffee to a shivering stranger in the R&P Labs parking lot, he never dreamed what the consequences of his act of kindness would be. In the seventh R&P Labs Mystery, the scientific quintet - Rob, Phil, Ellis, Virginia and Mitch - dodge homicidal cyclists and explore the thin line between dreams and reality as Virginia contemplates retirement, Mitch contemplates fatherhood and Ellis gets in touch with his inner lumberjack.
